I don't see any sign of read-side markers (rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() in the Linux kernel, userspace RCU, etc.). Yes, strictly speaking, these are not needed for QSBR to operate, but they make it way easier to maintain and debug code using RCU. For example, given the read-side markers, you can check for errors like having a call to rte_rcu_qsbr_quiescent() in the middle of a reader quite easily. Without those read-side markers, life can be quite hard and you will really hate yourself for failing to have provided them. Some additional questions and comments interspersed.

I would think that the bitmap-checking time would be lost in the noise of cache misses from the ->cnt loads. Sure, if you invoke __rcu_qsbr_check_selective() in a tight loop in the absence of readers, you might see __rcu_qsbr_check_all() being a bit faster. But is that really what DPDK does? > +{ > + uint32_t i; > + struct rte_rcu_qsbr_cnt *cnt; > + uint64_t c; > + > + for (i = 0, cnt = v->qsbr_cnt; i < v->max_threads; i++, cnt++) { > + RCU_DP_LOG(DEBUG, > + "%s: check: token = %lu, wait = %d, Thread ID = %d", > + __func__, t, wait, i); > + while (1) { > + c = __atomic_load_n(&cnt->cnt, __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE); > + RCU_DP_LOG(DEBUG, > + "%s: status: token = %lu, wait = %d, Thread QS cnt = %lu, Thread ID = %d", > + __func__, t, wait, c, i); > + /* Counter is not checked for wrap-around condition > + * as it is a 64b counter. > + */ > + if (likely(c == RTE_QSBR_CNT_THR_OFFLINE || c >= t)) > + break; > + > + /* This thread is not in quiescent state */ > + if (!wait) > + return 0; > + > + rte_pause(); > + } > + } > + > + return 1; > +} > + > +/** > + * @warning > + * @b EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice > + * > + * Checks if all the reader threads have entered the quiescent state > + * referenced by token. > + * > + * This is implemented as a lock-free function.

Which again works given current CPU clock rates combined with system and human lifespans. Otherwise, there are interesting race conditions that can happen, so don't try this with a 32-bit counter!!! (But think of the great^N grandchildren!!!)
